  <Tab title="🚀 Quickstart">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create an integration">
        Sign up for a free Nango account ([here](https://app.nango.dev)) if you haven't already. Then navigate to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> _Configure New Integration_ -> select _Passportal_.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Authorize Passportal">
        Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> _Add Test Connection_ -> _Authorize_, then enter your Passportal **API Access Key ID**, **HMAC Token**, **Content String**, and **Base URL**. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Call the Passportal API">
        Let's make your first request to Passportal (fetch a list of clients). Replace the placeholders below with your [Nango secret key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):

        <Tabs>
          <Tab title="cURL">
            ```bash
            curl -X GET "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/api/v2/clients" \
              -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
              -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
              -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
              -H "Accept: application/json"
            ```
          </Tab>

          <Tab title="Node">
            Install Nango's backend SDK: `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

            ```typescript
            import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

            const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

            // Fetch a list of clients from Passportal
            const res = await nango.get({
              endpoint: '/api/v2/clients',
              providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
              connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
            });

            console.log(res.data);
            ```
          </Tab>
        </Tabs>

        You can also fetch credentials dynamically via the [Node SDK](/reference/sdks/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/reference/api/connection/get).
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.

    <Tip>
      Next step: [Embed the auth flow](/getting-started/quickstart/embed-in-your-app) in your app to let your users connect their Passportal accounts.

  <Tab title="🚨 API gotchas">
    - Passportal uses instance-specific base URLs (for example, mycompany.passportalmsp.com).
    - Generate your **HMAC Token** offline before creating a connection in Nango.
    - When creating the connection, ensure you provide the same **Content String** that was used to generate the **HMAC Token**.
